SO HERE ARE THE NOTECARDS I HAVE MADE SO FAR....

I was thinking of taking them down to a local Gallery/shop to see if they could be sold there. In the meantime I have received several comments suggesting I sell them myself. In class today, we discussed pricing. I'm not sure how I want to do this and would appreciate any thoughts you might have. In the past three years I have taken well over 80,000 photographs and would love to start making more cards out of my favorites. Can't wait to hear from you.

This post was just put up and I have already received several great suggestions. Pricing is no problem.
Yes, I would like to market them from my Journal. Sure I could make packets with a theme...L'orange for Louise, all the kitties for Sally, Ponies, Flowers, the Canal, Architecture, food....whatever. The quality of the paper is outstanding and I am very happy with the printing. The etsy thing would take more effort, but is not out of the question. Thanks for the quick response.

They are absolutely lovely. Are you going to sell them in combination packets, or all the same kind in one package? If you ever make up a L'Orange medley, I would buy it in a snap. I just think he is the coolest cat.

What about those Etsy stores? I don't know anything about them, but it might be something to look into. This blogger has a store. Maybe you could look through her's and get some ideas.

Hello!! I buy a lot of note cards and I would buy your pictures as cards. I often purchase cards from local photographers that have them grouped together in 'themes.' The cards by themselves are priced a little bit above cards purchased at the store, and in my view are worth every penny!

I love your notecards--they are fabulous. I tried making some after taking pictures of flowers last spring and summer. Need to "perfect" them a little more, but I'm enjoying working on them.I'm rather new to blogging--come visit my blog sometime. I'm sure I'll be checking back in to see more of your lovely work.

I know that sometimes when I am on vacation and visiting rural or resort towns, I love to look at the spiral racks of homemade cards. After a while the cards within each line that the big companies publish become predictable -- always a specific style both visually and verbally, so I love to find something fresh. I suspect most general stores would want you to purchase your own display rack, but you could inquire in places like that.

Your cards are fantastic. I am thinking of doing some with a botanical theme from my paintings. I bet you could do some with your paintings and even get your students involved. I love being able to purchase smaller items like this in a gallery. It makes me feel good to know that I am buying from an artist. I also love the one of the barn roofs.

What a way to travel!

A Navajo quote to Woof Whinny Whisper

FROM GREY HORSE MATTERS...

If you bury him in this spot,the secret of which you must already have,he will come to you when you call;come to you over the far, dim pastures of death.

And though you ride other living horses through life,they shall not shy at him, nor resent his coming,For he is yours, and he belongs there.

People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grassbent by his footfall,who hear no nicker pitched too fine for insensitive ears.People who may never really love a horse.

Smile at them then, for you shall know somethingthat is hidden from themand which is well worth the knowingThe one place to bury a horse is in the heart of his master.

Thank you, Grey Horse Matters.

Somewhere in time's own spaceThere must be some sweet pastured placeWhere creeks sing on and tall trees growSome paradise where horses go,For by the love that guides my penI know great horses live again.~Stanley Harrison
